Sam Smith is renaming and delaying their third album

Sam Smith is renaming and delaying their third album.
The ‘Too Good At Goodbyes’ hitmaker was due to release their new album – which was originally titled ‘To Die For’ – on June 5, but they have now announced they will be making changes to the record as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

 

Sam says the name of the album “doesn’t feel right” amid the current global health crisis – in which over 36,000 people have lost their lives – and insisted they will be making some “important changes and additions” to the record before it is released.

In an Instagram post, Sam revealed:

“I have done a lot of thinking the last few weeks and feel the title of my album and imminent release doesn’t feel right, so I have come to the decision to continue working on the album and make some important changes and additions.”

The 27-year-old singer insisted the album will still be released this year, but they don’t have a confirmed date as of the time of writing.

They added: “I will be renaming my album and pushing back the release date – both of which are to be confirmed at this time. Don’t worry though, there will be an album this year, I promise! But until then I am still going to bring out some new music over the next few months, which I’m incredibly excited about.”

Meanwhile, Sam recently said they were self-isolating after coming down with a “bit of a headache”, but told fans they were “alright” despite the “weird” state of the world.

They said: “Hello everyone! This is a weird, weird, weird time, oh my gosh, very, very strange.

“I’m currently in my house. I have got a bit of a headache and I have allergies but I think I’m alright. But I wanted to stay in just to be safe.

“This is a weird time. I wanted to reach out to every one of you right now, and send my love. I really really hope you’re okay and I hope you’re mentally alright.”
